Pennelynne Martinek-Frese

I was born and raised in Chicago then our family moved to the suburbs good olde Round Lake Park, Illinois. This is where I attended 6 through 12 grade. It was a good time, I had a good family, I have one younger brother and at that time we where very close. When I was about 26 I was getting bored with my job which at the time I worked in a factory. I thought I wanted my own family but how wrong was I. I met my first husband through a friend and we where married in November 1989. In May 1990 I welcomed my son Ryan Lee, In May 1992 I welcomed my daughter Victoria Lynn and then in October of 1994 I left my husband. It was the best thing for me. I met my second husband while attending a vocational school. We moved in together and I had a happy family, not. We finally got married in July 1998 and welcomed a son Anthony Francis in July 1999. Then in July of 2007 I moved my family to Illinois to be closer to my mom and the rest of our families. One problem my second husband did not see things the way I did and decided not to move out. So welcome my second divorce. That was not the total of it. Peter my second husband convinced our son Anthony to move back to Washington with him. Anthony moved thinking if he did not like it he could move back. Wrong. Now I have to go to court to get him back. Lets not mention I got all my bills back, which lets call him idiot racked up tons of charges and now that they are maxed out they are mine. So I found a job and lost it, found another job and lost it. The one good thing that came out of the second job is I met my boyfriend there. It is really good between us. We both do not want to get married, which I am happy. That does not mean we can't live together forever. I found out I was addicted to Oxycontin. Gained all my weight back, Spent a year on unemployment. In November Ryan Lee came to live with me and it was good at first but did not end very well. He ended up moving back and I hope he finds happiness. Victoria quit school and now is trying to get into Job corps. Anthony wants to move back but I do not think that is going to happen. I live in public housing I was on food stamps. I finally got a job even though it is telemarketing I have a job. My car died and I got a new one. So if you think about it I lived a pretty messed up life. I have lived in California and Washington. Now I live in Illinois and It is where I belong. I am not as close to my family as I wish I was hopefully in time.
